"Ken Lacovara, a Drexel University professor and the lead author of the study announcing the discovery, lies besides a massive tibia. He said the Dreadnoughtus schrani would have had ""a lifelong obsession with eating"" in order to grow as big as it did."

Lacovara shows Lacovara at an excavation site in southern Patagonia in Argentina, posing by a tibia bone of a Dreadnoughtus dinosaur. A supermassive dinosaur that would have weighed as much as 60 small cars has been found in Argentina, where it likely perished in a bog some 77 million years ago, palaeontologists said September 4, 2014. Lacovara, an associate professor in Drexel University's College of Arts and Sciences, discovered the Dreadnoughtus fossil skeleton in southern Patagonia in Argentina and led the excavation and analysis. The fossil was unearthed over four field seasons from 2005 through 2009 by Lacovara and his team.
